EDD says,
Pandemic Additional Compensation
If you have a regular UI, PUA claim, or a PEUC extension between March 29 and July 25, 2020, the EDD is paying an additional $600 in federal stimulus funds on top of your current weekly benefit amount. Here’s what you need to know:
You do not need to do anything. We will automatically add the $600 to each week of benefits that you are eligible to receive.
The additional $600 is for all approved claims and extensions with weeks available for benefits between March 29 and July 25, 2020.
Note: Unless the federal government extends the $600 payments, we cannot pay the extra amount for any weeks after July 25, 2020. Any unemployment benefits through July 25 will still be eligible for the extra $600, even if you are paid later.
If a taxpayer lost her job las December and has been on state UI from January 2020 (before Covid -19), should she qualify for the $600 additional compensation every week?
Thank you,
